Abstract

Overview

The growing use of electromagnetic systems in everyday life has increased exposure to electromagnetic fields, which can cause significant environmental disturbances, particularly in health-related areas.

Findings

  • The article reviews the biological effects and disturbances to medical instruments resulting from exposure to electromagnetic fields.
  • It discusses various types of exposures and the measures adopted to comply with safety standards using energy devices that span a broad spectrum of power and frequencies.
  • Reviews include impacts on wireless telecommunications tools and inductive charging systems.
  • It also highlights interference in medical sensing and stimulation devices connected to the human body and those employed during medical interventions.

Conclusion

The study emphasizes the necessity of evaluating and controlling electromagnetic fields to ensure safety. This is achieved by electromagnetic compatibility analysis carried out both experimentally and through numerical modeling.
